MK18 Pistol (FDE)

The Daniel Defense MK18 Pistol, equipped with the SB-Tactical SOB Pistol Stabilizing Brace, is a variation of the MK18 SBR, which has been extremely popular within the Law Enforcement and Special Operations communities. This firearm is classified as a Pistol and not a Short Barreled Rifle (NFA regulated items require ATF approval and a tax stamp). The Daniel Defense MK18 Pistol features the railed forend Daniel Defense currently provides to USSOCOM and a 10.3” Cold Hammer Forged Barrel, the same length commonly used for CQB operations. The MK18 RISII features the Bolt-Up System and has been rigorously tested prior to fielding by USSOCOM. This pistol comes equipped with the rugged and comfortable Daniel Defense Pistol Grip with an integral trigger guard and soft touch overmolding. The MK18 Pistol is unmatched in size, weight, and performance.

I own this pistol, & it’s the greatest little AR for CQB, plinking, & home protection. There are cheaper AR pistols, but DD, for me is the best deal/quality, from its CHF barrel, to its unique rubberized furniture, to its well crafted internals.
I’ve owned several other manufacturers, & while there are many well made ARs, at good price points, I’m buying DD, & I don’t work for DD, I’m just please customer...
